While Africa is a big place, it was surprisingly easy to narrow the
choices down of where to go. One of the main aims of this trip was to see
the 'traditional' African wildlife of lions and zebras, etc . This kind
of limited things to the southern half of the continent, from Kenya on
down. Zaire, Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, all are in the middle of civil
wars or are recovering from them. This leaves a route up the middle from
South Africa to Kenya-Uganda, and this is where most travellers to Africa
end up. Being as going the whole way from South Africa to Kenya would
have taken more time and money than I had, I started half way up in Zimbabwe
and went north from there, sticking pretty much to the old 'British East
Africa'.
